Marriage is under severe attack today – from outside by the culture, and from within our own sinful hearts. Because of the profound mystery marriage is meant to reflect, it empties us of ourselves and unites us to something far more glorious and more beautiful. And it is for that very reason that it is so contrary to our natural selves and our natural way of living.

We live in a culture filled with pressure to perform, to work harder, and to do just a little more. There is healthiness and godliness in a strong work ethic. But there is also a pattern, set by the Lord Himself, of knowing when to say, “Enough,” and finding the freedom to rest in what He has done for us.
